ARLINGTON, Texas — What has Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian learned since he took his first head coaching job with the Washington Huskies in close to 13 years ago?
“I think I stepped on a lot of landmines as a first-year head coach at Washington, and even a second-time head coach at USC,” Sarkisian said last Thursday at Big 12 Media Days. “As a third-time head coach, and then having spent three of the last five years with Nick Saban, I think I do a better job of being consistent in my approach, having a little bit more awareness for landmines and avoiding landmines, or, you know detonating landmines, if that’s a better term.
